Figured I might as well get things started. With luck, this thread won't see too much action.

No one in the U.S. was killed by a tornado in May. There were no tornadoes in Oklahoma in May.
What's with that?

without some research, I'd have to say some incredible good luck for OK and maybe improved alert systems all around.

Tell me again why we need TWO hurricane threads out of you?

I live in tornado country and you don't see my thong in a wad about it...

​

 

[linuxgeek]

2? I'm well past two Lukky's head should explode any time now.

This is the one where I plan to put updates & et al. until their are individual storms to worry about. The others in the last month were just to get the attention of those near the Atlantic basin and flooding targets if any storms move inland to rain themselves out.

I would be real interested in a "Is this the year Gawd and the Mississippi have their way with New Orleans" thread so we could talk about the sheer stupidity of anyone still living in that town.

I've been there on several occasions.

It is simply NOT to die for...

Ivan tried, but his targeting was a bit off.

We have the first tropical depression of the season.

There's a bad feeling in the airs coming in off the southern ocean; here in NYC. A humidity. I don't like it. I have a feeling this may be a hurricane summer.

I knew I shouldn't have looked.

I've not been to New Orleans, but stricks me as a pretty funky place with loads of character, great food, good music etc

Guess it's an attitude that you do not share with its population.

Like wise why would one live on the San Andreas fault. It's what humans do.

 

[linuxgeek]

I knew I shouldn't have looked.

At least they only predicted it up to TS strenght by the time it hits land. It will help keep the sun off the gulf waters a day or two.

wasn't someone asking about New Orleans being hit?

 

[NaughtyLil1]

My parents are from Mobile but they are currently visiting. I hope this doesn't delay their decision to head home. Awful I know, but it's that time.

 

[Ishmael]

AJ brought NO up.

Not much of a storm but Pensacola doesn't need this at all.

Last time we had a season which primarily Tropical Storms in the gulf, I recall a lot of flooding problems in MS, AL, & GA 'cause the damn storms would hit fronts around the TN line and rain themselves out over those states. Think it was 4 of them that did it last time.. just don't recall which year that was.

Yeah, getting b/w 30-40 inches of rain in 2-3 days is always a treat. I think the last time it happened here was in '01.
